Strasbourg, France — January 22, 2026: Supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) gathered outside the European Parliament in Strasbourg to show solidarity with the nationwide uprising in Iran and call for international action against the mullahs’ regime.
Solidarity with Iran’s Uprising
Demonstrators carried banners reading “No to the Shah! No to the Mullahs” and “Regime change in Iran by the people of Iran,” expressing their support for protesters inside Iran and demanding a free and democratic republic. Photos of the martyrs of the ongoing nationwide protests highlighted the regime’s violent repression, including killings, mass arrests, and hospital raids.
European Parliament Condemns Regime
During the rally, the European Parliament adopted a resolution overwhelmingly supporting the Iranian uprising and condemning the regime’s crimes. The resolution was hailed by demonstrators as a courageous and timely act of solidarity with the Iranian people.
